The Fisherman lamps, designed by Mattias Ståhlbom of TAF for ZERO were inspired by the use of glass fishing floats once used by fisherman for about a century starting in the late 1840s.
Each rope is hand-knitted by a small company on the Swedish west coast whose specialty was making ropes and netting for the fishing industry.

This is my 3rd comment on Design Milk. How you find this kind of attractive lamps? This is really big question for me. I am also dealing with Google alerts but, never get success to find out such a attractive lamps like this. Now, I am thinking to create one category on website which may contain all unique and attractive lamps like this. Thanks for sharing man!

Light, texture, historical context, ornamental and utilitarian beauty, all in one pendant! Would love to see how they look foregrounded in a room setting.
